Giantin antibody - 263 003

Giantin is specifically expressed in the Golgi complex
Rabbit polyclonal purified antibody
Cat. No.: 263 003
Amount: 50 µg
Price: $375.00
Cat. No. 263 003 50 µg specific antibody, lyophilized. Affinity purified with the immunogen. Albumin and azide were added for stabilization. For reconstitution add 50 µl H2O to get a 1mg/ml solution in PBS. Then aliquot and store at -20°C to -80°C until use.
Antibodies should be stored at +4°C when still lyophilized. Do not freeze!
Applications
 
WB: 1 : 1000 (AP staining) (see remarks) gallery  
IP: not tested yet
ICC: 1 : 500 gallery  
IHC: 1 : 500 gallery  
IHC-P: 1 : 200 up to 1 : 500 gallery  
DNA-PAINT: yes (see remarks)

Western blot (WB); separation of proteins by PAGE and subsequent transfer to a membrane. Detection of target molecules is carried out with antibodies. Some antibodies require special sample preparation steps. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunoprecipitation (IP); Immunoisolation or pulldown of a target molecule using an antibody. For details and product specific hints, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunocytochemistry (ICC) on 4% PFA fixed cells. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence. Some antibodies require special fixation methods. For details, please refer to the “Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC) on 4% PFA perfusion fixed tissue with 24h PFA post fixation. Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate. Some antibodies require special fixation methods or antigen retrieval steps. For details, please refer to the ”Remarks” section.

Immunohistochemistry (IHC-P) of formalin fixed, paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissue (some antibodies require special antigen retrieval steps, please refer to the ”Remarks” section). Immunoreactivity is usually revealed by fluorescence or a chromogenic substrate.

In antibody-based DNA-PAINT (Point Accumulation in Nanoscale Topography), a short oligomeric docking strand is coupled to a specific antibody. The transient association of the fluorophore to the antibody is mediated by the pairing of a short fluorescently labeled complementary imager DNA strand. DNA-PAINT allows super-resolution imaging and the imaging of a huge number of antibodies on the same biological sample in a single multiplex experiment. For additional experimental details refer to the Remarks section.

Immunogen Recombinant protein corresponding to AA 1 to 427 from rat Giantin (UniProt Id: G3V6A8)
Reactivity Reacts with: rat (G3V6A8), mouse.
No signal: zebrafish.
Other species not tested yet.
Remarks

WB: Due to its large size, Giantin requires special gel-electrophoresis and Western blot protocols for visualization by immunoblotting. Excellent results can be obtained with the 4-12% TRIS-glycine gradient gels from anamed or NuPAGE 3-8% TRIS-Acetate gradient gels from invitrogen.
DNA-PAINT: This antibody has been successfully used for DNA-PAINT application (see Unterauer et al., 2024; PMID: 38552614).

Background
In eukaryotic cells the Golgi complex consists of stacked cisternae. Giantin, also referred to as macrogolgin or p400, is a single pass membrane protein involved in tethering these cisternae by cross-bridge formation. Its large cytoplasmic N-terminus is involved in the docking of COPI vesicles via p115 to the Golgi membrane.
Systemic lupus erythematosus and Sjögren's syndrome correlate with autoimmune antibodies against Golgi-compartment proteins with giantin being the most common autoantigen.
